Hi!
I need some advice. I have very little knowledge about HVAC and it's my first home. I bought my house 3 years ago and replaced my inside ac unit (evaporation coil?) 3 years ago (about 3 months after I got my house). My 8 year old AC Unit (outdoor one, not the inside stuff) had a pipe freeze up and my house wouldn't cool. I shut off the unit, called a tech that came out three years ago who replaced my inside unit because it was leaking something fierce. It took a week with no air before the tech could come out. Tech came out yesterday and told me that my dog destroyed my unit by peeing on it, and while I KNOW that can happen, my dog has no interest in the unit at all. I see some damage, but it doesn't look bad enough to need replacing.
Since he said I needed to replace both outside and inside unit to get the warranty, I turned it on today to see how long it took for the pipe to freeze to see if I could do some sort of schedule to not replace it until I have more savings. I've run it all day and it hasn't frozen again. Seems to be cooling okay. Magic?
I got the quote for $8,000 to make the replacements. It's 100% out of my budget. I'm a broke teacher and there's no way I can make that work. The quote didn't itemize anything. The quote "Expires" on Tuesday, so I was given 48 hours to decide. I feel like I'm being rushed to make a decision and am not being given time to get a second opinion.
Advice?

1. Does the dog urine damage seem bad enough that a tech could visually determine that it needs replaced?
2. Does the quote seem legit? I can't tell because I have no clue what the labor costs are OR the cost of the units. I live in Ohio, if that matters?
3. If my unit is running fine now, could it have been something else? If so, is there something I can do to check so I have a better idea of what I'm doing.
4. Is it normal to have a 48 hour accept/decline for the quote? It seems so quick.

I'm just super confused and overwhelmed. I've seen units that are much older, more damaged, and worse taken care of that still run okay. And it's running fine today, so I'm totally lost on if I actually need to replace it (and for the reason of dog urine). Any advice is appreciated.
Edit: I don't know if the photos uploaded? I didn't see them.

Brutal Dracula Solo Mini-Guide

So, you got comfortable with the longbow for the first 100 bosses and now you're here, like me.
While I know I'm nowhere near first to the party on defeating Brutal Dracula solo, I figured I would write up what worked for me in hopes it helps someone else trying for this particularly difficult achievement. There are many ways to win this battle, and this is one of them. I am only using gear available to you prior to defeating Dracula although some of it is rare. Using purple weapons with similar stats can work but may be slightly more difficult.

Setup

You'll want to make sure you bring both Potion of Rage and Witch potions along with a Vampiric Brew for the extra spell leech and 5% blood type boost. As far as blood goes, I was able to do this with both 100% Brute and 100% Rogue blood. Use whichever you have available, but I preferred the rogue blood (which surprised me). The weapons I suggest bringing along are Gravecaller, Mortitia's Lament, and Oaksong. Other swords and ranged weapons can work, but I think the only way to get condemn on a howling reaper is through Mortitia's, which is a nice 15% damage debuff. For armor I recommend the Shadow set, which will have 3/4 pieces along with the Shadowmoon Chestguard. The movement speed and critical strike chance will help you avoid getting hit while dishing out massive damage. The 4-piece set bonus will not be available, but if you are using rogue's blood you will have 100% crit chance after a Veil dash regardless. Last I recommend using Adam's Soul Shard of the Monster assuming you are on a private solo server or have it available. If not, the other 2 soul shards can work in a pinch, or use your favorite amulet (8% movement speed is nice) and Raging Tempest. Take a look further down at the abilities and their jewels for each phase.

Armor
Adam's Relic Shard

Phase 1 & 2

The loadout for the first two phases will look like this: Veil of Chaos, Blood Rite, and Frost Barrier. Included in the pictures are the jewel rolls I was able to equip on each of those.
Phase 1 & 2 abilities + jewels
In phase 1 do your best to avoid taking too much damage beyond your "black bar" because you'll want it for phase 2. You can run to the door and escape the fight at this point as well, no need to take durability damage from dying if you had a bad start. I was most comfortable with using the longbow at mid-range to quickly chip away at Drac's health. Multishot at full focus for big damage, Guided Arrow at full focus when he's going to stay put for a few seconds. Between Blood Rite, Frost Barrier and Veil you will always have a defensive option for any of his moves, although many can be avoided by simply running. Note that you will still take damage from his shattering smash that releases a star-pattern of projectiles if you're standing in the center - the projectiles themselves can be countered safely. His double-slash projectile is great for Frost Barrier and then recast in his face for some good damage as well. When the arena turns dark and many bats start coming out, shuffle walk back and forth to bait their trajectory lines while preparing to Veil away when the boss reappears. Don't use Veil while it is dark, you need it to dodge the grab / blood suck. You can run straight through the wolf move safely. His lunge and other sword attacks can be sidestepped or blocked/countered by our abilities too.
When phase 2 starts you can safely fire off your ultimate as he's landing. When he creates a large line of projectiles, the space directly in front of him is safe. Veil to dodge his large overhead chop, sidestep his lunge, and get some nice damage in on his quadruple blade projectiles by running the frost shield into his fast and recasting. When he vanishes and the bats begin coming out again, it's a great time to destroy crystals. Don't Veil into the crystals area though, you need it to dodge his attack. Instead, let a bat hit your Blood Rite, then walk in while you're ethereal. You should be able to do enough damage to destroy the crystal before he starts attacking again, freeing up much needed space. When he teleports to the center and create the cross and all the homing projectiles, just run to the edge of the arena back and forth. With enough movement % you can out-strafe them. You can get some damage in here by frost shielding 3-4 at a time too. When the second fire cross finishes, you can close the distance with frost shield to him early by blocking more projectiles too. Throughout most of this I used the bow, though I took out the sword for the crystals sometimes.
After his health gets to zero, he'll start to play his transition animation. It's pretty cool, but you shouldn't watch it. You should open up your abilities menu and grab Void and Ball lightning instead. There's a fair amount of time during this transition to do this, unlike Phase 4 where you should be prepared to be slightly faster.

Phase 3

Phase 3 abilities + jewels
You've swapped out your moves and are frantically looking around for the first enemy spawns on the outskirts of the room. If they get to the center, they heal Dracula and turn into an annoying enemy, so the goal here is to not let them get there. Void and Ball Lightning with certain jeweles will let you push and pull enemies. Place Void behind enemies to drag them backwards / towards each other, place Ball Lightning in front of enemies to push them backwards. If you can get 3 enemies with the bow's Multishot, this will push them back quite a bit too, followed by the Seeking Arrow that stuns with 3 focus. Don't forget you can feed on them below 30% health for an instant kill bite. When too many of them are getting near Dracula, fire off Adam's ultimate to knock them back into some heavy hitting lightning. If Dracula heals past 75% it is going to be difficult, but with this method I've been able to have zero healing applied to him consistently. When all the monsters are cleaned up, swap to the heart and throw everything you have it. Feed on the heart and immediatley open your ability menu for you phase 4 abilities. You’ll have to be faster swapping abilities here so you don’t miss out on some free damage time. Note that we use a different frost defensive now instead of the frontal shield (pictured below with gems)

Phase 4

Phase 4 abilities + jewels
For phase 4, you'll have special Dracula blood with very powerful abilities - but don't count on whatever blood type you brought because it's gone. Periodically swap to the Reaper weapon and toss the rotating damage on dracula since he is stationary. Otherwise, go to town on him with the sword and whirlwind. The 15% damage debuff from condemn will have a lot of uptime here. Veil has half the cooldown, so don't be afraid to use it frequently. As the line of projectiles comes at you, use blood rite or cold snap to intentionally get hit while dodging the swords. Don't break ethereal by attacking if you're in the middle of swords, you have plenty of time with this loadout to beat the "enrage timer." The stacking debuff will mean later in the fight you take significantly more damage and things like bloodrage don't clear this debuff. You can Veil through his knockback waves twice if timed correctly since we're using Veil of Chaos. Continue hammering on him with the reaper throw ability and the sword whirlwind - the bow is really not a great choice at this point because you are too immobile while firing. If you can manage to get his health to zero, you win! I say this because... even if you die simultaneously or shortly after he does, he'll be downed in his throne room when you return. Don't ask me how I know this.
Good luck!
I hope this mini-guide helps someone out there on their quest to defeat Dracula on Brutal. Don't give up, you too can brood in a big winged chair! Please let me know if there's anything I missed or anything you'd like to add in the comments!

Victory!

Victory!

As Reddit doesn't allow posts to exceed 40,000 characters, Eastwood's edition had to be split into two parts because his whole career cannot be ignored. The first part was posted yesterday.

Million Dollar Baby (2004)¨

"Beyond his silence, there is a past. Beyond her dreams, there is a feeling. Beyond hope, there is a memory. Beyond their journey, there is a love."
His 25th film. Based on stories from the 2000 collection Rope Burns: Stories from the Corner by F.X. Toole, it stars Eastwood, Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman. The film follows Margaret "Maggie" Fitzgerald, an underdog amateur boxer who is helped by an underappreciated boxing trainer to achieve her dream of becoming a professional.
Paul Haggis wrote the script on spec, and it took four years to sell it. The film was stuck in development hell for years before it was shot. Several studios rejected the project even when Eastwood signed on as actor and director. Even Warner Bros., Eastwood's longtime home base, would not agree to a $30 million budget. Eastwood persuaded Lakeshore Entertainment's Tom Rosenberg to put up half the budget (as well as handle foreign distribution), with Warner Bros. contributing the rest.
The film had an incredible run in limited release, breaking many records for Eastwood's career. It eventually earned a fantastic $216 million worldwide, becoming his highest grossing film ever. It received critical acclaim, and it was named as one of his greatest films. It won four Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress (for Swank), and Best Supporting Actor (for Freeman). Eastwood became one of the very few directors to make two films to win both Best Picture and Best Director.

• Budget: $30,000,000.
  
• Domestic gross: $100,492,203. ($166.8 million adjusted)
  
• Worldwide gross: $216,763,646.
  

Flags of Our Fathers (2006)

"A single shot can end the war."
His 26th film. Based on the book written by James Bradley and Ron Powers, it stars Ryan Phillippe, Jesse Bradford, Adam Beach, John Benjamin Hickey, John Slattery, Paul Walker, Jamie Bell, Barry Pepper, Robert Patrick and Neal McDonough. The film follows the 1945 Battle of Iwo Jima, the five Marines and one Navy corpsman who were involved in raising the flag on Iwo Jima, and the after effects of that event on their lives.
The film received positive reviews, but it bombed at the box office with just $65 million against its huge $90 million budget.

• Budget: $90,000,000.
  
• Domestic gross: $33,602,376. ($52.2 million adjusted)
  
• Worldwide gross: $65,900,249.
  

Letters from Iwo Jima (2006)

"The completion of the Iwo Jima saga."
His 27th film. Based on Picture Letters from Commander in Chief by Tadamichi Kuribayashi, it stars Ken Watanabe, Kazunari Ninomiya, Tsuyoshi Ihara, Ryō Kase and Shidō Nakamura. It's a companion film to Flags of Our Fathers, and portrays the Battle of Iwo Jima from the perspective of the Japanese soldiers.
In the process of reading about the Japanese perspective of the war for Flags of Our Fathers, in particular General Tadamichi Kuribayashi, Eastwood decided to film a companion piece with this film, which was shot entirely in Japanese. The film was shot back-to-back, starting filming just one month after Flags of Our Fathers wrapped filming.
Despite being seen as the least accessible of both films, this film was much more successful at the box office than the previous film (including a colossal $42 million in Japan alone). It also received critical acclaim, particularly for how it handed the depiction of good and evil from both sides. It received 4 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director.

• Budget: $19,000,000.
  
• Domestic gross: $13,756,082. ($21.3 million adjusted)
  
• Worldwide gross: $68,673,228.
  

Changeling (2008)

"To find her son, she did what no one else dared."
His 28th film. It stars Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich, and is based on real-life events, specifically the 1928 Wineville Chicken Coop murders in Mira Loma, California. It follows a woman united with a boy who she realizes is not her missing son. When she tries to demonstrate that to the police and city authorities, she is vilified as delusional, labeled as an unfit mother and confined to a psychiatric ward.
The film earned $113 million worldwide, barely breaking even at the box office. The film received mixed reviews, but Jolie received praise for her performance. She was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress.

• Budget: $55,000,000.
  
• Domestic gross: $35,739,802. ($52 million adjusted)
  
• Worldwide gross: $113,398,237.
  

Gran Torino (2008)

"Ever come across somebody you shouldn't have messed with?"
His 29th film. It stars Eastwood, and follows Walt Kowalski, a recently widowed Korean War veteran alienated from his family and angry at the world, whose young neighbor, Thao Vang Lor, is pressured by his cousin into stealing Walt's prized Ford Torino for his initiation into a gang. Walt thwarts the theft and subsequently develops a relationship with the boy and his family.
The film received great reviews, as well as praise from the Hmong community. It ended up becoming a sleeper hit, and it earned $270 million worldwide, becoming his highest grossing film.

• Budget: $25,000,000.
  
• Domestic gross: $148,095,302. ($215.6 million adjusted)
  
• Worldwide gross: $269,958,228.
  

Invictus (2009)

"His people needed a leader. He gave them a champion."
His 30th film. It stars Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. Following the aftermath of the apartheid, President Nelson Mandela decides to unite his people by supporting a rugby team in their bid to win the 1995 Rugby World Cup.
The film earned $122 million worldwide, barely breaking even. It received positive reviews, and Freeman and Damon received Oscar nominations for their performances.

• Budget: $50,000,000.
  
• Domestic gross: $37,491,364. ($54.7 million adjusted)
  
• Worldwide gross: $122,426,792.
  

Hereafter (2010)

"Touched by death. Changed by life."
His 31st film. It stars Matt Damon, Cécile de France, Bryce Dallas Howard, Lyndsey Marshal, Jay Mohr and Thierry Neuvic. An American with a special connection to the afterlife, a woman with a near-death experience and a young English boy, who lost his loved ones, cross paths in an effort to find closure in their lives.
Despite mixed reviews, it managed to earn $107 million, turning a small profit.

• Budget: $50,000,000.
  
• Domestic gross: $32,746,941. ($47 million adjusted)
  
• Worldwide gross: $106,956,330.
  

J. Edgar (2011)

"The most powerful man in the world."
His 32nd film. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Armie Hammer, Naomi Watts, Josh Lucas, and Judi Dench, and follows the career of FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, focusing on Hoover's life from the 1919 Palmer Raids onward.
The film received mixed reviews; while DiCaprio received praise, the technical aspects of the film were criticized. It earned $84 million, making it a box office success, but far below what DiCaprio usually makes at the box office.

• Budget: $35,000,000.
  
• Domestic gross: $37,306,030. ($52 million adjusted)
  
• Worldwide gross: $84,920,539.
  

Jersey Boys (2014)

"Everybody remembers it how they need to."
His 33rd film. Base on the 2004 jukebox musical, it stars John Lloyd Young, Erich Bergen, Michael Lomenda, Vincent Piazza and Christopher Walken, and tells the story of the musical group The Four Seasons.
It received mixed reviews, with praise for the musical numbers but criticism for the narrative and runtime, and failed at the box office.

• Budget: $40,000,000.
  
• Domestic gross: $47,047,013. ($62.3 million adjusted)
  
• Worldwide gross: $67,647,013.
  

American Sniper (2014)

"The most lethal sniper in U.S. history."
His 34th film. It is based on the memoir by Chris Kyle, Scott McEwen and Jim DeFelice, and stars Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller. The film follows the life of Kyle, who became the deadliest marksman in U.S. military history with 255 kills from four tours in the Iraq War, 160 of which were officially confirmed by the Department of Defense. While Kyle was celebrated for his military successes, his tours of duty took a heavy toll on his personal and family life.
In 2012, Cooper and Warner Bros. bought the rights to the memoir. Cooper wanted Chris Pratt to star as Kyle, but WB told him they would only greenlight the film if he stars in it. After Kyle's murder in 2013, Steven Spielberg signed to direct. Spielberg had read Kyle's book, though he desired to have a more psychological conflict present in the screenplay so an "enemy sniper" character could serve as the insurgent sharpshooter who was trying to track down and kill Kyle. Spielberg's ideas contributed to the development of a lengthy screenplay approaching 160 pages. Due to Warner Bros.' budget constraints, Spielberg felt he could not bring his vision of the story to the screen. So Eastwood was brought in to direct.
The film attained a solid, but not extraordinary response from critics. It also attracted some controversy over its portrayal of both the Iraq War and Kyle himself.
The box office though?
To say that the film had a fantastic run would be selling it short.
It opened on Christmas Day in 4 theaters, and it earned a huge $633,456 ($158,364 PTA). But the following weekend, it actually increased despite playing at the same amount of theaters, adding $676,909. That translated to a $169,227 PTA, becoming the highest second weekend PTA in history for a live-action film. And on its third weekend, it earned $579,518 ($144,879 PTA), becoming the first film to have three weekends above $100,000 PTA. In the 22 days it played in just 4 theaters, it earned $3,424,778.
On its first wide weekend, the film shook the industry by opening with a colossal $89 million. That was almost as much as the other 2014 blockbusters, and given that the film didn't have 3D pricing, it's very likely it sold far more tickets than them. It broke the January opening weekend record by twice as much, and the second biggest for an R-rated title. With insane word of mouth ("A+" on CinemaScore), this film had the legs. In less than one week, it became Eastwood's highest grossing film domestically. On its second weekend, it dropped just 28% and made $64 million, which was the biggest second weekend for an R-rated film (a record it still maintains) and crossed $200 million domestically. And by March, the film overtook The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 ($334 million) as the highest grossing 2014 film in North America.
After an insane run in theaters, it closed with a gigantic $350 million domestically, which made it the second highest grossing R-rated film in North America. Overseas, it was also very strong, and it made a huge $547 million worldwide. It was easily Eastwood's highest grossing film, even adjusted for inflation. One of the greatest box office runs in recent memory. It received six Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Actor for Cooper, ultimately winning one for Best Sound Editing.
The biggest surprise of the 2010s? Perhaps. Cause let's face it, when 2014, did any of you had this as the top film of the year? Or even in the Top 20? Please.

• Budget: $59,000,000.
  
• Domestic gross: $350,159,020. ($463.7 million adjusted)
  
• Worldwide gross: $547,659,020.
  

Sully (2016)

"The untold story behind the miracle on the Hudson."
His 35th film. Based on the autobiography Highest Duty by Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger and Jeffrey Skiles, it stars Tom Hanks, Aaron Eckhart, Laura Linney, Anna Gunn, Autumn Reeser, Holt McCallany, and Jamey Sheridan. The film follows Sullenberger's 2009 emergency landing of US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River, in which all 155 passengers and crew survived and the subsequent publicity and investigation.
The film received strong reviews, and earned over $240 million worldwide, becoming one of his highest grossing films.

• Budget: $60,000,000.
  
• Domestic gross: $125,070,033. ($163.3 million adjusted)
  
• Worldwide gross: $243,870,033.
  

The 15:17 to Paris (2018)

"The real heroes."
His 36th film. Based on the autobiography by Jeffrey E. Stern, Spencer Stone, Anthony Sadler, and Alek Skarlatos, it stars Stone, Sadler, and Skarlatos as themselves and follows the trio through life leading up to and including their stopping of the 2015 Thalys train attack.
Despite choosing Kyle Gallner, Jeremie Harris and Alexander Ludwig as the leads, Eastwood decided to cast the heroes to play themselves, which was met with confusion as they lacked acting experience. And that was reflected on the final film; it received negative reviews for its acting, and it bombed at the box office.

• Budget: $30,000,000.
  
• Domestic gross: $36,276,286. ($45.2 million adjusted)
  
• Worldwide gross: $57,176,286.
  

The Mule (2018)

"Nobody runs forever."
His 37th film. Based on the 2014 The New York Times article The Sinaloa Cartel's 90-Year-Old Drug Mule by Sam Dolnick, it stars Eastwood, Bradley Cooper, Laurence Fishburne, Michael Peña, Dianne Wiest, and Andy García. Due to financial issues, horticulturist Earl Stone becomes a courier for a drug cartel. Slowly, he grows closer to his estranged family, but his illegal activities threaten much more than his life.
It received good reviews (although some questioned its story and tone), and earned over $173 million worldwide.

• Budget: $50,000,000.
  
• Domestic gross: $103,804,407. ($129.6 million adjusted)
  
• Worldwide gross: $174,804,407.
  

Richard Jewell (2019)

"The world will know his name and the truth."
His 38th film. The film stars Paul Walter Hauser, Sam Rockwell, Kathy Bates, Jon Hamm, and Olivia Wilde. The film depicts the July 27 Centennial Olympic Park bombing and its aftermath, as security guard Richard Jewell finds a bomb during the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, and alerts authorities to evacuate, only to later be wrongly accused of having placed the device himself.
The film received positive reviews, but several journalists criticized the critical portrayal of the reporter that first accused Jewell: Kathy Scruggs (specifically for trading sex for stories). The film marked another commercial failure for Eastwood.

• Budget: $45,000,000.
  
• Domestic gross: $22,345,542. ($27.4 million adjusted)
  
• Worldwide gross: $44,645,542.
  

Cry Macho (2021)

"A story of being lost and found."
His 39th film. Based on the novel by N. Richard Nash, it stars Eastwood and Dwight Yoakam. Set in 1979, it follows a former rodeo star hired to reunite a young boy in Mexico with his father in the United States.
Nash tried to get this film made all the way since 1970s, but no studio was willing to pick it up. He restructured his films as a novel, was successful and studios were now interested. There were a few candidates for the leading role; Robert Mitchum, Roy Scheider, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Eastwood himself. Arnie was willing to star in the film back in 2003, but put it on hold when he was elected Governor. He was set to star after leaving office, but the project was scrapped after his affair scandal was made known. In 2020, Eastwood signed to return.
The film received mixed reviews, particularly for its writing and acting. It was also a huge flop at the box office, and marked Eastwood's least attended film as leading man. David Zaslav criticized the studio's decision to finance the film. Warner executives allegedly said that although they knew the film was unlikely to turn a profit, they felt indebted to Eastwood for his decades-long relationship with the studio and his consistent ability to deliver films under budget and on time.

• Budget: $33,000,000.
  
• Domestic gross: $10,310,734. ($11.9 million adjusted)
  
• Worldwide gross: $16,510,734.
  

The Future

He recently wrapped post-production on his 40th film, Juror No. 2. It stars Nicholas Hoult, Toni Collette, Zoey Deutch, Leslie Bibb, Chris Messina, J. K. Simmons and Kiefer Sutherland, and follows a juror serving on a murder trial who realizes he may be at fault for the victim's death.

Across those 39 films, he has made $3,536,687,297 worldwide. That's $90,684,289 per film.

The Verdict

Insanely profitable.
Even the bombs do not taint this kind of reputation. Eastwood has made all these films under budget and never past its deadline. That's something that has to be treasured for studios, no wonder he's been staying with Warner Bros. since 1976. His ability to get films ready in short notice is impressive; Richard Jewell started filming in June and it was on theaters in December. One of the most impressive actors who transitioned into directors. You can tell that Sergio Leone and Don Siegel taught him well.
Now of course, his method of directing can also have its setbacks: he's often known for not asking for multiple takes and he skips rehearsals. So that means the performances of his actors aren't always the best they could've done. Which is why, despite making some masterpieces or fantastic films, he's also made a few films with weak technical aspects: poor lighting (J. Edgar), questionable logic (Cry Macho), obvious props (the fake baby in American Sniper), and some bad acting (Gran Torino and The 15:17 to Paris). At the same time, it's clear he can also get extraordinary performances through these methods; Gene Hackman, Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman won Oscars for starring in his films.
He also proved old age doesn't prevent you from continuing to work. He's turning 94 in a few weeks, and he's still directing films. Manoel de Oliveira directed films until he was 104, so perhaps we still have a few more years with Eastwood behind the camera.
P.S. Ever since I started this series, there's been suggestions that I should do "Actors at the Box Office" multiple times. While the idea is intriguing, that doesn't seem feasible for me. I'd have to categorize whether the actor is leading, supporting, original IP, adaptation, remakes, etc. Besides, with the continuing decline of star power, it's tough to decide what actor is truly moving the needle at the box office. That's why I'm making solely "Directors at the Box Office", because the director is responsible for the production. If the film succeeds, the director will get credit. And if the film flops, the director will be blamed. So this is the closest you'll get to "Actors at the Box Office".
Hope you liked this edition. You can find this and more in the wiki for this section.
The next director will be Robert Zemeckis. One of the biggest falls from grace.
I asked you to choose who else should be in the run and the comment with the most upvotes would be chosen. It had to be a controversial filmmaker. Well, we'll later talk about... Zack Snyder. Oh, BoxOffice chose fuego 🔥
This is the schedule for the following four:

Week	Director	Reasoning
May 20-26	Robert Zemeckis	Can we get old Zemeckis back?
May 27-June 2	Richard Donner	An influential figure of the 70s and 80s.
June 3-9	Ang Lee	What happened to Lee?
June 10-16	Zack Snyder	RIP Inbox.

Who should be next after Snyder? That's up to you.
